Guess what timber this is #2

[Auzzie turner]

This time I have photos of 2 different types of wood.

The second is a type of burl.

Guess what timber it is.

Clues will follow.

Photos should be acceptable.

5th photo is a closeup of the burl

Start guessing everybody.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

The burl is most definitely "misplaced timber."

It belongs in my shed. Really! :cool:

[Auzzie turner]

And no neither of them are in the cedar family.

[journeyman Mick]

Never heard of Qld Plain tree, do you know its latin name? (looks like Cardwellia Sublimis to me though)

Mick

[mic-d]

Mick

Yeah I think there's something smelly about this one. Googled Queensland plain (plane) tree and no hits at all, nada, zip, zilch. Latin name would be good.
I wonder which silky oak it is in the same family as? as in:

cmon young fella!:)

Cheers

[Auzzie turner]

Myself?? I would'nt of known.

I got this timber off of Jamie at Halmiton Sawmills. He is the head of a HUGE sawmill, he has hundreds of different timbers. He ships all over the world. I got it off him.

He said it

He knows it

Joash

[journeyman Mick]

Joash,
just because he says it's so doesn't make it so I'm afraid. Find me a reference to it in a book or on the net with its botanical name and I'll agree, but otherwise, as far as I'm concerned you and Jamie have got it wrong.

Mick

[journeyman Mick]

Hey Joash!
still waiting on your response. There's no such thing as Qld Plain/Plane Tree as far as I can tell from googling or any reference books that I have plus asking a couple of local botanists. This doesn't look too good when you are selling timber, I'd suggest. If Jamie has made a mistake or is using an obscure local "common" name, then fair enough, but let people know what the true identity of this timber is.

Mick

[Captain Chaos]

G'day Joash,
I was wondering if Jamie might have meant that the timber was ( Illawarra ) Flame Tree ( brachychiton acerifolia )? This tree grows in the rainforests of Northern Queensland and down the East Coast to Sydney. I've also seen it growing in gardens and as street trees here in Adelaide.
I believe that the timber from this tree is used for funiture / cabinet making, wood turning etc.
Don't stop doing the " Guess what timber" thread mate, just do a bit of research on the timber pieces before you submit them. That way you learn & become better versed on timbers & their characteristics. If there is a query regarding identification, you at least have facts / resources to reinforce your decision. Plus, we also get to learn more about the timber as well. ;):)
Hope that this is of some help to you.
Regards,
Barry.

[Auzzie turner]

Ok, I'll accept defeat on this one......for now. When I see Jamie next time, I'll get all the facts, and come an tell u guys.

I'll have another one up soon

Joash

[Toymaker Len]

Better late than never... first two pics banksia, next three ? we are't looking at Queensland Firewheel Tree are we, stenocarpus or something suchlike ?

[Shedgirl]

Silky oak (casuarina). Some weird Queenslandish variety.
